Jeffrey Attempting to Censor Social Media

If the ‘ultimate value is to win’; and you agree with it, you agree with cheating or misrepresentation to sell a product. Note that I am a ‘Consumer Reports’ kind of guy. I have a big problem with that kind of crap, and with those kind of politicians. Always have. Always will.

I think she (Christina’s daughter) was upset with a ‘Wag The Dog’ post, but I’ll have to ask her. If you haven’t yet seen the movie ‘Wag The Dog’, with Dustin Hoffman, you should see it. It gives you an insight into the executive branch and the spin process that is priceless.

Defamation? All you have to do is read her policy proposals. Start with her weird twist on the ‘fair tax’ in which she adds (by my math, check it out) a Euro style VAT to the EXISTING tax burden. Chump Change, IMHO.

As far as character, that is one thing I like about Christina. She is a character. A definite unforgettable figure.

Bruce,

You are correct, it is her right, as it is Jim’s (DeMint). However, I think that if a person wants to go into public life, to be a ‘public servant’ as we used to call them back in the day, it would be in their interest to listen to what their bosses have to say. Do you agree?

No feelings of mine were hurt. Christina had called me a few months earlier and asked me, as a favor, to avoid posting certain topics on her page. which, as a favor, I did. (strike one); then she did a anti-deist (my particular religion, shared by many of our countries much loved founders) anti-first amendment spiel (I wouldn’t call it a speech) at the westside library (strike two); finally when her daughter sent me the email saying she was going to do selective editing, it was (strike three – and out) for Christina. On the SPAM topic, one person’s SPAM is another persons relevant point or clip. Unless folks do (excessive) Anglo-Saxon oaths, or post something that would cause the facebook AI engine/censors to sweat, I don’t censor posts on my wall. I expect the same courtesy.

Scott,

I don’t leave any politician or political wanna-be ‘the hell alone’. Nor should you.

Who knows what really happened? It is hard for me to trust Gary Coats word on the matter. He doesn’t appear to do any fact checking.

GOP Gypsy,

My mother IS a dangerous woman…otherwise she wouldn’t have been attacked by the Democrats in 1995 so vigorously. That’s the kind of dangerous woman I want representing South Carolina.

As to your other remarks, Mom has run for Congress once before, in Georgia, coming in second in a field of 6 (or seven? I can’t remember). She ran for state house two years ago and lost by 120 votes. I’m not sure where you got your other facts, whoever you are. She was elected as a South Carolina delegate to the 2004 Republican National Convention and she served two terms as secretary of the Spartanburg County GOP.

My mother’s past is all over the net – I invite anyone to look it up. So does she. Just get the facts right. Don’t publish libelous comments, don’t state things that are patently untrue! Isn’t that just common decency? Or have we lost all of that in this state?

We moved to South Carolina in 1999 because my father was offered a tenure-track position at Wofford College – my mom left a tenured profesorship in Georgia. Don’t make wild accusations. If anyone’s making threats, it’s you people. The people are watching. You won’t success in blackening my mother’s name. She is a good woman. You’re certainly not a good person, whoever you are.

Gary, we haven’t met, but my mom’s never done anything to you. She’s never been anything but kind. You’re being used by some pretty awful people, and I’m sure you’ll recognize that eventually.

Oh, and with regard to the Paul Jansen thing, I don’t think anything of his was ever deleted…all my sister said was that we might have to delete posts.

Look to the truth, and it will set you free. Veritas!

Dear Paul err I mean GOP Gypsy,
I looked up your page, and Jeffrey’s and you were a plague. You complain that she only wants to win and now you mock her for losing. Which is it? Quit crying because your feelings were hurt. You are not as interesting as you think you are.

Not a facebook rash situation, but a ‘third strike’ kind of thing. See my reply to Kelly above. . .

Thanks for the link. I note, however, that I considered this a personal thing between me and CJ’s ‘editor’, but being disgusted after a series of emails, I posted a ‘status’ that I just ‘unfriended’ a congressional candidate (I did not name the candidate) and to my great pleasure and / or amusement I received several thumbs up on the status post and a question from Gary as to ‘whom’ I just unfriended. It kind of went on from there, and perhaps it should have. . .

It would seem that a lot of folks consider a lot of the candidates to be every bit as vile, or even viler than the incumbents. And probably rightly so. In my view anyone that seeks power (or panders to get power) is not fit to wield it.
